Mental Online Slot – Nolimit City

Ever wondered what goes bump in the night at an old asylum? For some reason, Nolimit City has decided to explore just that, with a spine-chilling slot release titled Mental.

At first glance, the game looks as thrilling as it is unnerving. We could expect little else from the grim backdrop of a Victorian-era mental institution. So, ready to test your nerves as we unpack this horror show?

Mental operates on a 3-2-3-2-3 reel structure, offering 108 ways to win that can dramatically increase during play. A bit unexpected for Nolimit City, the stakes range from 0.20 to 70.00 per spin, changing up the range we’ve grown so accustomed to.

The RTP is set to 96.08%, and the volatility is dialled up to ‘Extreme‘, meaning that every spin could be promising a heart-pounding experience – but this is just the intro after all. We need to delve deeper to know for sure.

Game Symbols

With a game titled Mental, the symbol design cannot be lacking in the eerie department. Lower values are represented by anatomical illustrations of body parts: skeletal hands, kidneys, hearts, brains, and eyes.

These icons pay between 0.1x to 0.25x the stake for five on a line. The higher echelons of dread are populated by five obscured patients, offering payouts from 1.5x up to 5x your stake for full combos, marrying high stakes with high creeps.

Bonus Features and Jackpots

Early on, you’ll notice that each spin, between 1 to 13 random positions on the reels are highlighted with Fire Frames. Symbols landing within these frames are split into two, effectively doubling the symbols within the frame, which can dramatically increase the number of winning combinations.

The Dead Patient Multiplier is triggered when two Dead Patient symbols land on the reels. As its name aptly suggests, this feature unveils a multiplier attached to one of the high-value patient symbols.

The multiplier can be any of the following values: x5, x10, x15, x30, x50, x100, x300, x500, x1,000, or even x9,999, thus boosting the payout of the affected symbol.

If you take a look at the bottom of reels 2 and 4, you’ll notice the Enhancer Cells. These activate when they are surrounded by 4 or 6 Fire Frames, respectively. They can reveal one of several different symbols:

• Wild Symbol: Helps by substituting for other pay symbols to create wins.
• Patient Symbol: One of the higher value patient symbols is revealed for increased win potential.
• Dead Patient: Another occurrence of the Dead Patient symbol for potentially massive multipliers.
• xWays: This symbol reveals three identical symbols, increasing the number of win ways.
• xSplit: Splits all symbols on its reel into two and itself converts into two wild symbols.
• xNudge Wild: This wild nudges to fully cover the reel, increasing a win multiplier by +1 for each nudge, and if there are multiple xNudge Wilds, their multipliers are added together.

Now we’re getting to the good part, or at least to the less gruesome one. The Autopsy Free Spins are triggered by landing 3 Scorpion symbols on reels 1, 3, and 5. When activated, this feature awards eight free spins with up to 5 Fire Frames activated. These Fire Frames remain sticky for the duration of the spins, potentially leading to massive symbol splits and increased wins.

On the other hand, the Lobotomy Free Spins are activated by landing 3 Scorpion symbols and a Spider symbol. This round starts with nine free spins. Spider symbols become sticky, activating the Mental Transform feature every spin. Moreover, any Dead Patient symbols add their multipliers to the sticky multiplier meter, enhancing subsequent patient symbol hits.

Then, there’s the Mental Free Spins. This is the pinnacle of free spins modes, triggered by 3 Scorpion symbols and 2 Spider symbols, and starts off with ten free spins. Here, two spider symbols remain sticky, consistently triggering the Mental Transform. Similar to Lobotomy Spins, but with added intensity and potential for colossal wins due to non-decrementing multipliers.

Finally, the Mental Transform feature is activated by landing a Spider symbol on reels 2 or 4. This feature can transform the spider into an xWays, xSplit, Dead Patient, Wild, or Patient symbol, adding a layer of unpredictability, as if that was lacking.

Play Mental Slot

Mental is not a slot for the faint-hearted. Its high volatility and layered features can churn out massive rewards just as easily as they test your patience with dry spells.

The design and soundscape only add to the already unsettling narrative that has all the potential of becoming lucrative. To us, this seems like the ideal slot for players wanting to step out of their slot comfort zones.
